FC Bayern makes a mistake, the She-Wolves take advantage of it

The VfL Wolfsburg footballers took advantage of FC Bayern’s mistake and pushed the German champions out of first place in the Bundesliga table in the last game of the year. Dominique Janssen only scored in the 83rd minute with an unsuccessful cross.
Former champions VfL Wolfsburg have regained the lead in the women’s Bundesliga after four rounds from champions Bayern Munich. At the end of the tenth matchday in the northern duel with Werder Bremen, the She-Wolves took advantage of Munich’s loss of points in the surprising 1-1 the day before against relegation candidate 1. FC Nürnberg with a lackluster and late 1-0 (0-0) and overwintered after their fourth win in a row one point ahead of the defending champions.
Significantly, Wolfsburg’s winning goal only came seven minutes before the final whistle thanks to an unsuccessful cross from Dominique Janssen. In view of the previous game, VfL coach Tommy Stroot’s team was able to celebrate an extremely happy victory.
For long periods of the match, Wolfsburg seemed more inhibited than motivated by the unexpected opportunity to return to the top of the table. Voting problems characterized the game of the seven-time title holder. With a Werder goal disallowed in the first half and Bremen hitting the post after the break, the hosts, who had dominated the cup round of 16 duel 5-0 the previous month, were even very lucky twice. Until Janssen’s lucky shot almost from the sideline, the home team’s final offensive had also gone miserably.
At the start of the season after the winter break on the last weekend in January, the “half-time championship” will be decided in a long-distance duel between Wolfsburg and Munich. Wolfsburg has to play away at SGS Essen, while Bayern host TSG Hoffenheim.
